<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) has revoked its endorsement of hard-left state Senator Omar Fateh, a Democratic socialist, for mayor of Minneapolis after finding the endorsing convention had made numerous mistakes.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Fateh, whose parents immigrated to the United States from Somalia, is challenging incumbent leftist Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey in November.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The Minnesota state senator, 35, is running on an uber-progressive <a href="https://www.fatehformayor.com/vision">platform</a> that includes cracking down on the police, getting ‘economic justice’ for LGBT and minorities, and keeping Minneapolis a sanctuary for not just illegal migrants but also for abortions and transgender drugs and surgeries, all while spending lots of taxpayer dollars,” The Daily Wire has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/meet-omar-fateh-the-radical-somali-american-democratic-socialist-running-for-minneapolis-mayor">noted</a>.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Fateh has also consistently referred to Somalia as home, saying to the local Somali community, “I understand that our Somali communities are all connected to each other here in Minnesota and back home, and I ask for your support. There’s always been a link between our community here as well as back home and I’m running to bridge that gap and unite all of us and represent all of us because when we succeed here, we succeed everywhere.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">At the convention, after the second round of voting had been concluded, Fateh <a href="https://x.com/OmarFatehMN/status/1946761856275624188">claimed</a> he was the winner. But Frey’s campaign asked the state DFL to nullify the endorsement, saying the convention’s electronic voting system had failed, adding that delegates and alternates had been “inexplicably removed as delegates or downgraded before or at the DFL Convention.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">On Thursday, the state DFL <a href="https://dfl.org/cbrc_decision/">vacated</a> the Minneapolis DFL’s endorsement of Fateh, writing, “After a thoughtful and transparent review of the challenges, the Constitution, Bylaws &amp; Rules Committee found substantial failures in the Minneapolis Convention’s voting process on July 19th, including an acknowledgement that a mayoral candidate was errantly eliminated from contention. As a result, the Constitution, Bylaws &amp; Rules Committee has vacated the mayoral endorsement.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The DFL found that there was “highly inaccurate tabulation of the first vote in the mayoral endorsement,” pointing out that mayoral candidate DeWayne Davis was improperly dropped from the second round of voting because votes had been undertabulated. Thus, the results from the second round were considered invalid.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The DFL also concluded that there were multiple delegate-related issues such as the failure to upgrade all alternate delegates, the loss of a credentials book, and the failure to secure the master credentials list which ‘was accessed by non-members of the credentials committee, including the campaigns,” Alpha News <a href="https://alphanews.org/state-dfl-strips-omar-fateh-of-party-endorsement-in-minneapolis-mayoral-race/">reported</a>.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">A spokesperson for Frey’s campaign <a href="https://x.com/AntGockowski/status/1958638078152659011">said</a> the Fateh endorsement was “brazen cheating.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The election, which is conducted via ranked-choice voting, will take place on Nov. 4th. Early voting <a href="https://vote.minneapolismn.gov/voters/calendar/">begins</a> Sept. 19th and runs through Nov. 3<sup>rd</sup>,” Alpha News added.</p>
